I see that my son posted on his blog this morning - which made me think to drop a few lines on here. I have the blogs in my favorites bar so I can click on them any time - so they are always close by.
January is nearly over. Where has this month gone! Lots of things going on already this year - just busy stuff, but still, busy.
Wow - January is already over and February isn't far from being over. I decided to take a moment to check blogs this morning and saw I had started this and it was still in draft form. I have been so busy here at work - and haven't been on the computer much at home - so haven't completed anything personal.
And, in checking blogs - I see my son has written several posts since I have. I'm surprised he hasn't sent me an email and asked why haven't I been posting - he has done that before. It always gets me motivated to do it more.
But what to write about. Actually, I had been thinking of writing something over the weekend. So much has gone on lately that I have been pretty much overwhelmed. I honestly want to run away for at least a day - by myself. No one can understand this. At work I am with people all day long. I am interrupted, I listen to chatter throughout the day, I am very busy. On the way home I am - at least 3 days a week - calling my older sister to check on her or calling my 100 year old aunt to see how she is doing. Then once home, it's fixing dinner (or going out for a bite), and having to interact with those there.
Right now I want to be alone. I just want 'to be'. Just for a day would be heavenly. I used to be able to do that occasionally - go up to the Hermitage and spend a day/night. I treasure the memories I have of those times. But - it was sold and those that have it do not rent it out now. I would even rent a hotel room just for a night and a day - if I could have it to myself. No one can understand what or why I feel this way. When hubby was involved in other activities he would occasionally be gone for a night or a day - and I loved it (to his dismay) - having the house to myself. Doing something without having to explain why. Going somewhere without having to report in.
And here it is nearly March and my daughter and granddaughter and I need to plan our "2017 Jailbreak Getaway". Granddaughter wants to go to Sedona. I just want to get away. Not sure where we will end up. I would be happy to just get a hotel room and us hang out together; go shopping or whatever. Not that any of us has any extra money to go shopping. But I do also window shop. Last year we did it on spring break for the granddaughter - but this year she is also working so don't know if she will be able to get away. It's only two nights anyway..... we had hoped to make it a yearly thing - guess we will see. True, I won't be alone - but it is a good time with catching up with life.
I guess this is all I will write for now - perhaps I will get back in to writing soon and will catch myself up. One thing I do know... God is still God, and He is still on His Throne. Somedays that is all that keeps me going.
Blessings!
